Kawhi Leonard sues Nike over 'Klaw' logo

Kawhi Leonard was a Nike endorser until 2018

Kawhi Leonard is currently battling against the Warriors in the NBA Finals, and ESPN is reporting that the Toronto man is also going up against Nike as he tries to reclaim his 'Klaw' logo:

Kawhi Leonard filed a lawsuit against Nike on Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California in an attempt to reclaim control over a logo Leonard says he created.

The lawsuit goes on to say that Leonard intends to use the "Klaw" logo in various capacities - including clothing lines, footwear and in connection with sports camps and charity functions - but that Nike has objected to him doing so. Leonard, therefore, wants to regain control of the logo, which he created while he was part of Jordan Brand's stable of athletes.

Leonard and Nike introduced the logo back in 2011, although the 27-year-old's sponsorship with the company ended last year. He is now sponsored by New Balance.
